Johnson & Johnson MedTech began the first phase of launching its Volt Variable Angle Optimized Locking Technology Plating System.
The system aims to improve stability, enhance performance and increase efficiency in treating orthopedic trauma and injuries, according to an Oct. 10 news release.
The Volt's mechanism uses tightly toleranced screw hole threads to improve plate-to-screw engagement as opposed to screw threads that cut into the plates for locking.
The Volt Plating System includes a range of plate shapes and lengths, as well as screw lengths to accommodate different fracture reduction and fixation needs.
The Volt Mini and Small Fragment Plating Systems have received clearance from the FDA and are available for commercial use. The Volt Distal Radius and Proximal Humerus Plating Systems are expected to be released in 2025, the release said.
